Drawing on the classical concept of rhetorical "dispositio," this
study gives new interpretations of a number of literary texts of
the French Renaissance, some of them well-known (by Rabelais, Du
Bellay and Montaigne), others less-known (the "Pierres precieuses"
by Remy Belleau and the anonymous collections of emblematic
fables). All these texts are organized according to an often
problematic and disruptive "dispositio" that dissociates itself
from the prescribed and preexisting models. This study not only
seeks to approach the problem of literary ordering from a
historical and theoretical perspective, it also intends to frame
this topic in a more general context: grotesque bodiliness in
Rabelais's novels; historiography, gender and travelogue in
Montaigne's "Essays"; imitation and intermediality in the case of
the poets and the fabulists.
